Bird Nests, CCTV and Specialist Work in ST14

During spring and early summer, bird nests often end up in chimneys. If a nest is active, it's protected by law, so removal isn't possible until late summer. Bird guards and cowls, fitted at £70 to £145, prevent the problem next year.

Most sweeps offer CCTV inspection (£85 to £145) to spot blockages, damage or nests before they become a problem. Heavier jobs like power sweeping for tar buildup, flue liner installation, or stack repointing can be arranged, though prices reflect the complexity and time involved.

Best Time to Book Chimney Cleaning in Uttoxeter

Book your sweep in May, June, July or August to get an appointment before the heating season starts and before the September-to-December rush. Early booking gives you more choice and faster turnaround.

How often should I sweep my chimney?

Chimneys serving open fires should be swept at least once a year. If you use a wood burner or multi-fuel stove, sweep annually or more often if you notice a smoky room or slow burning. Agas and range cookers typically need sweeping once a year as well.

What does a CCTV chimney inspection involve?

A CCTV inspection sends a camera up your flue to check for blockages, damage, cracks, or bird nests without needing scaffolding or dismantling. It costs £85 to £145 and gives you a clear picture of what's going on inside your chimney before a sweep or repair work begins.

Can a sweep remove a bird nest from my chimney?

If the nest is active during breeding season (usually spring and early summer), it's protected by law and removal isn't allowed. Once birds have left in late summer or autumn, removal is possible and typically costs £80 to £155 depending on the nest and access.

What is a chimney sweep certificate?

A sweep certificate, issued after a professional sweep, confirms your chimney has been cleaned and is safe to use. It's proof for insurance purposes and shows you've met your maintenance duties. Always ask your sweep for a certificate after the job.

How much does it cost to fit a bird guard or cowl?

A bird guard or cowl fitted to your chimney costs £70 to £145. These prevent birds, leaves and debris from entering your flue and causing blockages, making them a worthwhile investment if you've had problems before.

What should I do if my chimney is drawing poorly?

Poor draw often signals a blockage, damaged flue, or downdraft issues. A sweep can perform a smoke or draw test (£40 to £70) to diagnose the problem, then recommend inspection, cowl, or flue repair to fix it.
